Naval heirarchy being what is, it doesn't often provide information on non-combatant or "lesser" ships and vessels. The Hull, the Monaghan, and the Spence were all lost on 18 December 1944. Somewhere a listing of support vessels must exist. The specifics of the screening assignments for the three DDs are contained in: Morison, S. E. (1969). History of United States Naval Operations in World War II Volume XIII the Liberation of the Philippines Luzon, Mindanao, the Visgyas 19444-1945. Boston: Little Brown. Hull and Monaghan were assigned to the screen of Task Group 30.8 (At Sea Logistics Group Third Fleet). It is known that Hull was screening the oilers Monongahela, Neosho, and Marias Screening ships of this TG frequently had there assignments changed: Monoaghan's specific assignment is not known. To put this in context, TG 38.2 contained 27 fleet oilers and seven CVEs.
Spence was in the screen of carrier task group TG 38.1 which contained, inter alia, the carriers Yorktown, Wasp, Cowpens, and Monterey, the battleships Massachusetts and Alabama, plus six cruisers

7 US Navy "Flush Deck Destroyers" also known as "Four Pipers" (Clemson class) went aground in 1923 off Point Honda in California. All were destroyed. This was the largest peacetime loss of warships in US Naval history. The Clemson type class of US Navy Destroyer were the MOST produced US warship class in US history; approximately 275 were built during and just after WW1.

Two of the US Destroyers were older Farragut class destroyers, and the third lost warship was one of the new Fletcher class destroyers. Halsey was nearly relieved of command for sailing his fleet into a typhoon.

The Fletcher Class destroyer became a legend in both the US Navy and WW2.
